Stop this

Against Overdevelopment

Updated: Sep 25, 2024


Dear ER:


Letter writer Marie Puterbaugh, long term volunteer for BCHD, wants to know what Stop BCHD is stopping. So here’s the Top 10 list of BCHD activities to stop:

  1. Stop BCHD’s 80% to 95% non-resident services’ Wealthy Living Campus. Force BCHD to focus on district taxpayers.

  2. Stop BCHD’s planned 793,000 square foot facility that will nearly triple the mostly commercial campus size in a residential neighborhood.

  3. Stop BCHD’s from leasing 3 public acres for 95 years to a 100% private, for-profit developer.

  4. Stop BCHD’s from allowing private developers to use our public land and then charge residents high, private rates for services.

  5. Stop BCHD’s planned 110-foot above Beryl and Flagler, out of scale and character development.

  6. Stop BCHD’s plan for an 100% privately owned, 80% District non-resident assisted living facility on public land.

  7. Stop BCHD’s development of a PACE facility (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) for 400 enrollees, with only 17 predicted to be District residents according to the National PACE Association’s statistics.

  8. Stop BCHD’s $175M, 30-year obligation for allcove operations in return for a meager $6.3M construction grant.

  9. Stop BCHD’s 74% wealthy, White city use of allcove when BCHD is obligated to service a 91% non-resident service area by contract.

  10. Stop BCHD’s $2.4M per year annual spending on executive pay using public funding. Put that 15 cents of every BCHD dollar spent to resident services.
